August 31, 2022 Chair Gensler, I have been in the market for a little over 2yrs now and have heard many things that aren't fair for retail investors, like dark pools, naked shorting, and other things that make it almost impossible for us to have a fair share at trying to invest properly. When a hedge finds, market maker or bank does something illegal and they just get a small fine is like a slap on the wrist for them. And they continue business as usual and commit the same crime again. You as the SEC should be protecting us from corrupt institutions by levying a fine that would fit the crime and actually have these individuals brought to justice. Fines should deter them from ever committing the same crime again and if justice prevails I would think that would deter then from committing again. If it was a normal person committing these crimes that cost everyday Hard working people thier life savings we would be in prison. We are sick of the market being against us and at every turn it seems the rules get changed or market makers Hedge funds always have a way to get one up on us. Transparency MUST be a number one policy. If you say that the SEC's priority is to protect the public then do what you say. We deserve a fair market for all.
